You say you have a friend who’s moving to or visiting New York City and you want to give them an appropriate gift; a little something to welcome them? Well if they’re going to be parking their car anywhere other than a secured lot “The Club” wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Something A Little More Personal Perhaps

You can never go wrong with gift baskets. I don’t care what the occasion is; there is a gift basket out there that is not only appropriate but fully utilitarian and enjoyable; all at the same time. A good old fashioned house warming basket should suffice but if you really want to be interesting, feel free to personalize it with a New York theme. Of course you’ll want to include a CD of their favorite singer, the choice of which there are only a few, and their rendition of the song “New York, New York”.

Making One Rather Than Buying One

If you’re a little low on funds or want to give your basket a really personal touch you can always collect and assemble its contents on your own. Check the Internet for any and all products that utilize the words New York in their name. Buy as many as you can to include in the basket.
Oh, and a map of the area will be much appreciated by any new New Yorker; trust me.

Shopping for cell phones can always be a challenge because there are so many cell phone providers out there, that are always offering different deals. It can be really hard trying to figure out which deal is going to be the best for you.

Choosing The Perfect Plan

One thing you need to take into consideration is what you do the most. Some people talk a lot, some people text a great deal, and some people are always answering their work e-mails. Therefore a strong data plan might be necessary in order to keep from getting a huge data plan bill.

Making Sure That Your Service Coverage Is Excellent

Asking customer service for help is always recommended in this particular situation. The customer service rep might recommend a few SIM only deals that will work with your cell phone and improve the coverage. Don’t be afraid to ask the customer service rep any questions you feel that are relevant when it comes to your plan and your coverage.

Once you have gotten yourself a new cell phone and your plan is going to work for you, then you get to have fun shopping for all the applications you want.

When you say you’re bringing your business to the big apple I certainly hope that you’re planning on making your online business available to those in New York City. If you’re actually planning a move to New York City, into a shop; I wish you the best.

You Might Want To Live In Your Shop!

Apartments are hard enough to find in New York City much less an apartment and store space. Getting a building with either a loft for living quarters or planning of living in the back room (unless you’re made of money) might be something you want to consider until you make enough to expand in one way or another.

No One Carries Money In New York City

If you think that money is something that people carry in abundance while strolling through Times Square, you’re sadly mistaken. Even in smaller cities in the United States people are carrying actual money on them less and less. If you’re setting up business in The Big Apple or anywhere else you’re going to have to check into credit card processing companies.

Without a merchant account of some kind you can’t make it there; you can’t make it anywhere. It’s up to you; New York, New York.

One of the things that separate a good date from a great one, is the location where it takes place. Many of the traditional date spots have been done so often they become boring. This the reason you need to consider some ideas that would bring the romance back to life. 

To begin with, you could decide to go sailing. Remember the great romance titanic brought to the lives of many. You will enjoy the great sunsets at sea. As well, you could take a paddleboat on a lake for the weekend. You could organize for lunch at sea. 

The classic beach is one forgotten dating spot. Many people have moved into restaurants forgetting the power of the beach. You need to prepare to spend the day sand basking and swimming. If you can find a good spot for your date, then you could be able to spend the day by yourselves. With this, it is a good idea to ensure that you get the best sunscreen. 

The third non-traditional dating spot is the museum. Remember you used to visit them only when you were at high school. Imagine taking the trip to the tunnels and caverns. You will also end up knowing a lot that you did not know before in terms of history. 

If both of you love a bit of dancing, forget the club. You could decide to take some dating session while learning how to tango or salsa. You will notice that in particular the salsa is a very romantic dance. You could take many dance sessions from many locations in the city you live in. This is a good way to have a reality date and enjoy to the fullest.

The last thing you could consider doing is bungee diving. This could be a scary thing for both of you especially if you have the fear of heights. In addition, it is a good chance for you to overcome this fear. There are many locations where you could go for bungee jumping. Some are so high that they will take the jitters away from you as fast. The best thing, it is a good way to reinforce your relationship. A good place to go for bungee jumping is the Victoria Falls on the Zambezi in Zambia. You will also have a good

After doing any of these activities, you could try something a bit more traditional like meeting up for conversation and great Tassimo coffee at your local coffee shop so you can discuss the day’s adventure together.

Thinking about moving to New York City? Stop! New York can be the most exciting city in the world but it can also be the most expensive. The average New York has maxed out their credit cards, taken out multiple payday loans and works in more than one job just to live there. Here’s what you can expect economically if you move to the city.

Salary Level?

The average New Yorker has to make an average of $125,000 per year just to have the same quality of living as someone living in Houston Texas. For those people who think it’s more affordable living in Manhattan, they have to make at least $60,000 per year in order to survive compared to the average person living in Atlanta who makes over $26,000 and enjoys the same standard of living.

Rent

Unless you have perfect credit and are able to choose from a variety of loans to afford a house in New York City, you will be renting. The average rent in NYC is just over $2,800 per month and believe it or not, that’s more than 50% higher than San Francisco or other expensive cities in the United States.

Fixed Costs

Everyone, not just New Yorkers need phone, electricity, trash and other basic services. In New York the average monthly price for phone service is $35 compared to $20 in other cities. Heating and electricity costs are at least 50% higher than other states and day care costs are on the high side too. You need to be able to pay for all of this without having to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy.

How to Live In NY on A Budget

• Couponing – Start using coupons for everything and buy in bulk. This will save you hundreds of dollars per year and help you to use the extra money for expenses like electricity, phone, internet, gas, water and trash.
• Room Mates – You may not like the idea of living with someone but, if you can split the rent, this will easily save you $1,000 or more per month off you rent.
• Save Your Tax Return – Instead of blowing your tax return, save the money or invest it in a mutual fund or CD. This step will enable you to use the return on your investment for paying your bills or expenses for the coming year.
• Start An Online Business – If you can start an online business through eBay or some other avenue and it nets you an average of $500 or $1,000 per month; this will give you more money for other things and fund your NY lifestyle.

Bowling in a major city can be a terrific time because you have so many different things to do, and so many people are there that you will be able to meet.

Bowling For A Charity

This is really a nice thing to do because you are helping out somebody that might have a condition or just helping out a charity that might be helping the homeless in New York. Be sure you get the word out so as many people as possible show up and held him for this charity. You might even consider using a social media site as well to help spread the word.

Getting All Of The Bowlers Set Up With Proper Equipment

Finding the best bowling pro shop in the Big Apple might be a challenge. Your best bet is to find a shop near the location of the bowling alley. Then you might arrange a meeting prior to the charity event to see if the owner might consider donating a portion of the proceeds to the charity as well.
The day of the event, hopefully everything goes as planned and you make a great deal of money for your charity. Everyone involved will be very pleased and feel very rewarded for taking the time to do something for someone else.

New York has some of the best stores in the United States. You can find whatever you want in New York. No matter what style you are seeking can be found there.

Shopping For All Types Of Clothing

If you are on a limited budget that it is a good idea that you make a list of items you are going to need. This will help prevent you from spending too much money and also help you from buying items that are not on your list. Let’s face it New York is a place that overspending can happen.

Undergarment Capital

New York is also a wonderful place to buy lingerie. If you are trying to find the perfect little lingerie outfit to impress your special someone then you are in the right spot. With such a huge variety you should be able to find what you are seeking in no time. Just be sure you are not breaking the budget doing so.

When you have found everything that is on your list, be sure that everything fits perfect and that you look amazing in all of your new outfits and especially your lingerie. Shopping can be a girl’s best friend.

Subtitled: Mission Impossible. While not all together impossible, without hiring someone to scope out apartments for you, or hearing about it through word of mouth, apartments for rent in New York City are few and far between. If you do chance upon one, I hope you just inherited the huge family fortune… You’ll need it.

You Want How Much For A Studio Apartment?

If you are single and you’re looking for a small studio apartment, be prepared to drop more money than you ever would’ve thought possible for such a small closet like area. Of course it all does revolve around what part of New York you want to live in and whether or not the apartment needs to be furnished. Apartment hunters make a good living in New York for a reason. They can find the apartments that no one else can.

East Side; West Side; All Around Uptown

Here are just a few examples of apartment prices in the Big Apple: a studio apartment in Brooklyn can run as much as $1600 a month. Once we get into the Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Midtown and Downtown you will need to decide whether or not you want to walk up to your apartment or have a doorman. A studio apartment without a doorman in Midtown for example can run you up to $2200 a month.

Woe be to you should you be a family man in New York. Three bedrooms and more in Midtown (let’s go with a doorman this time) will cost upwards of $12,000 a month. How’s that family fortune looking?

Visiting New York City and not catching a Broadway show is like going to Las Vegas and not hitting a casino. It simply isn’t done, not if you know how to be a tourist.

The Hottest Show in Town

Good luck getting Book Of Mormon tickets, but if you can somehow swing it; it is currently the hottest show on Broadway. People are standing in line for 5 hours just to get tickets. Reportedly there isn’t a bad seat in the house. The music and acting provide the avid Broadway play fan a typical visit to a Broadway musical. The humor is anything but typical; and the playgoer must be able to appreciate the type of humor displayed here. It is reminiscent of Comedy Central’s South Park cartoons.

Book Of Mormon Rated Five Out Of Five Stars

After checking reviews on line, I can honestly report that this Broadway musical is receiving five out of stars from most of its reviewers. Those that are giving it any less were obviously not prepared for the humor used in this play; or simply don’t appreciate it in the first place.

This show’s offensive nature is not everyone’s cup of tea; but not ever one drinks tea.
